Level 23 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 625 ante

Chance "BingShui" Kornuth found himself in a slight conundrum after registering for this tournament, and took to Twitter for assistance.

Anyone have an extra IPad? Accidentally regged both online bracelet events and cant two table on phone
— Chance Kornuth (@ChancesCards)

Kornuth later followed up on his situation:

Never mind. Doesn’t work. I did get a few iPads tho ##‍♂️
— Chance Kornuth (@ChancesCards)

As the bubble continues to approach, Kornuth has been sitting out for about half of his hands as he goes back and forth between tournaments.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 22 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

Action folded around to Daniel "Gnarly_Mole" Strelitz on the button, who decided to use his big stack to apply maximum pressure to the blinds preflop by moving all in for 208576, covering both opponents. The small blind got out of the way and "Scarmak3r" called in the big blind.

"Scarmak3r": A♥Q♣
Daniel "Gnarly_Mole" Strelitz: 3♣3♦

Strelitz needed to fade an Ace and a Queen to eliminate his opponent. The 4♦5♦6♠ flop and 10♠ turn were clean but the A♦ on the river secured the double up for "Scarmak3r" and put a massive dent in Strelitz' stack.
